New Corporate Name for Parent of Tamalpais Bank, Tamalpais Wealth Advisors

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- Tamalpais Bancorp (NASDAQ:TAMB) today officially became the name of the parent company of Tamalpais Bank and Tamalpais Wealth Advisors.

The name change, from Epic Bancorp, was approved by the company's shareholders at its annual meeting held on June 9.

"We believe that there will be a positive impact of aligning the three entities at a strategic level, which will allow us to leverage marketing activities and have one brand platform and mission statement for the entire company," said Mark Garwood, President and CEO.

"By unifying the brand, we believe that it will be easier to educate customers and investors about our product and service messages. We are proud of the reputation that the Tamalpais Bank name has earned for customer responsiveness, corporate responsibility and civic leadership.

"From a marketing and communications perspective, we will be able to market the holding company together with Tamalpais Bank and our wealth management affiliate, Tamalpais Wealth Advisors," he said. "As we grow and expand beyond our Marin County base, unifying the entire organization under a single identity improves customer and investor recognition."

The parent company of Tamalpais Bank and Tamalpais Wealth Advisors was originally called San Rafael Bancorp and changed its name to Epic Bancorp in 2004 when it became listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

In connection with its name change, the Company has previously reserved and applied to NASDAQ to change its ticker symbol on the NASDAQ Capital Market System to "TAMB". Along with the new name comes a new, distinctive blue and white logo featuring the familiar mountain icon. The new logo, like the Tamalpais Bancorp name, will increase visibility of all entities to constituents as the Bank increases its focus on small and medium sized companies.
